Shoutout to the recruiter who told me to take a $10k pay cut for "exposure"
Applied for a project manager role at a fintech company in Austin back in March and made it to the final round. The recruiter called me after and said the budget only covered $65k, which was $10k under what I was making at the time, but told me the title bump would be worth it for exposure and future job offers. I turned it down and took a lateral role at a smaller shop for the same money, and 5 months later that fintech company had a hiring freeze and laid off half the team. Has anyone else been pitched the exposure thing and actually taken it?

Exposure doesn't pay rent, and that layoff five months later proves the "future offers" pitch was just talk.
